The Park, Monday Late Night

Since in wasn't raining anymore, Ranma decided to spoil Mizu with a long walk all the way to the park. He hadn't the foresight to think it might resume raining and was thus umbrella-less. His puppy bounded from puddle to puddle looking like a kid with evil plots. Maybe it was a mere coincidence that the little beagle pulled Ranma through a large puddle and splashed him majorly. Enough to make him transform. //Mizu...// Ranma looked at the romping puppy sternly but his face melted to a grin. //You're...cute.// He hoped no one heard that...

Hands shoved into his pockets, Chad was strolling along the long way back to the dorms after grabbing a drink or two at the bar. He know he shouldn't really be stalking around late at night, but he worked late, he didn't have a class until last period tomorrow, and his previous experiences with stalking around the park late at night had been nothing but good. So the habit was threatening to continue.

And then there was barking, and a bouncing figure of a dog leading the bouncing figure of a girl.

Seemed to him his experiences would continue being good.

He stopped under a streetlamp and waved as they aprroached crossing his path, unable to see who it was quite yet. He held up a hand in a wave-less wave. "Good evening," he greeted, hoping that all of his actions were done in ways as to not spook either puppy nor girl.

Mizu ran to inspect Chad's shoes. Ranma waved and smiled thinly. "Hi Chad."

((new icon one))

Hey, Chad knew this puppy. "Hey, Mizu," he crouched down and started scratching behind his ears. And if this was Mizu, why, then, the girl was none other than...

"What are you doing, wandering around so late, Ranma?" The tiniest tug of a smile settled in the corner of his mouth as he looked up at her.

"Spoiling him I guess. Though I like it outside at night. It makes me feel at home. Plus there's not so many people."

"Except big, scary people like me lurking around," Chad noted, picking Mizu up and cradling the puppy in his arms, hoping Ranma didn't mind him nearly diving right for the dog and picking him up. He was still scratching his head as he rose, standing to loom better as if to prove his point.

"I can take anyone on this island with my eyes closed."

Chad's grunt sounded like it might be something akin to a laugh, but it was very hard to tell. "Sure about that?" Not that Chad would ever imagine fighting Ranma, but her spunk amused him greatly. He could lift her up without straining, and he imagined doing just that, and her kicking and throwing punches that connected with only air, and it amused him greatly. And she'd tire herself out from the effort, and he'd have to carry her and Mizu back to the dorms.

"What you don't believe me?" He narrowed his eyes. What a chump. No way this clumsy looking giant could even hit him with one punch.

"Honestly? No. Not saying you're not good, Ranma, but that's quite a tall order."

Pun was, unfortunately, very intended and made him giggle quite a lot inside. But his stoic exteriour made it seem like he didn't even know the meaning of the word pun.

He needs no further prompting. He heafts Chad easily above his head. "Why don't you tall order THIS." He looks quite irked.

Okay, that? Managed to surprise Chad significantly, and he almost dropped Mizu. Pretty impressive reach on her to actually get him up, too. So. Here was a girl who he wouldn't have to worry about accidently breaking in half. And that spunk!

"I, uh, stand corrected," he muttered simply, although he was dying with laughter inside.

Although being held up like this was really awkward; Chad was starting to feel his balance get really off centre, feeling himself teeter a little.

"Better not forget it. When I'm normal I could do 200 push-ups at least, with you on my back."

"Two hun--" Chad started to comment, but the awkwardness of being held up in the air (Chad was mostly a very grounded guy) and behind held by someone of such disproportionate....proportions took over. In the fight between Chad's well-hidden amusement, Ranma's bragging, and gravity, gravity won, triumphantly, and Chad started to fall over behind Ranma.

And the fall took Ranma with him, and, in a sudden moment of confused technicalities, they'd both crashed, Ranma's back against the ground, Chad's back against Ranma's chest, and a very confused Mizu leaping from Chad's arms to safety in the grass nearby.

Chad blinked, a little phased, not quite sure what had just happened. He placed his hands to help push himself up. One hand fell safely on the ground by Ranma's legs. The other found a surface far less solid. The other had pressed against Ranma's right breast.

There was a very subtle squeeze, as if to verify it. Yup. That was definately a boob. Chad gulped and slowly drew his hand away.

This was not going to go well.

Rather than a slap Ranma opted for a slug right to the jaw. Talking fast and angrily in Japanese. //What the hell hell wazzat!? Ya did that on purpose didn't ya!? UGH I think I feel SICK! I just got felt up by a GUY!// He does look a bit ill.

Ugh. Chad's hand instantly went to his jaw, cracking it back into place. What a punch! And he totally did deserve it, too. Especially since he didn't really regret the mistake.

//"Sorry,"// he muttered, the words a little more jumbled than usual, due to having to talk around the pain. //"It was an accident. Lost my balance."//

//If that ever happens again 'll hit ya so hard yer head will spin.// Ranma growls.

Still rubbing his chin, Chad nodded, giving a small thumbs up with his other hand. //"Message recieved, loud and clear,"// he said, although his mind was already constructing up the fact that 'hit ya so hard yer head will spin' could easily be taken a very different way. //"But it was an accident."//

He shudders, clearly still disturbed greatly. //'ll try an' ferget 'bout it...//

//"About what?"// Chad offered, to suggest that the whole thing was already dust in the wind.

Ranma either doesn't get the joke or just doesn't like it. Because he gives a pretty cold stare. He pulls at his face and looks visibly upset, bending down to check on Mizu, probably to hide that wibbly face.

Okay, that didn't go as he expected. Feeling suddenly very awkward about the whole situation, Chad hauled himself to his feet, brushed the dirt off the seat of his jeans, and cracked his jaw again.

"Dios," he said. "Where'd you learn to punch like that?"

Maybe if he complimented her, she'd feel better.

"I was trained everyday since I was 3 years old." He nuzzled Mizu, usually he does't like showing his puppy much affection in public but it made him feel a lot calmer.

"It shows." Or feels, rather. Damn. Chad rubbed his chin again, quietly, thoughtfully watching Ranma cuddling up with her puppy, obviously for comfort. Guilt and other bad feelings started to seize him. He'd been around Japanese girls enough to know how modest and demure they could be.

"I really am sorry," he said, offhandedly, looking up to the sky for a moment before looking back toward her. "Anything I can do to make it up to you? Buy you a drink or something? I'm really not a creepy pervert; I'm just kind of clumbsy. And not used to being lifted over peoples' heads."

"I don't like to drink. Not since last time..." He shakes his head. "And what would people think?" He gives Chad a stern look. Why in the world did he have to end up talking to this guy anyways? Why does he keep treating him so weirdly?

Chad scratched his head a moment; there was that weird Japanese modesty again. This is why he didn't talk to Japanese girls at school very much; he'd wave to them, and they'd giggle about how forward he was being. "What happened last time?"

Ranma looks down. "I made a big mistake. I did something stupid. Well lots of stupid things but one really big thing. And I really didn't want to. I'm not proud of it and it really seems like that and another incident has really ruined a relationship with someone I care a lot about."

"Bummer."

Bummer? Oh, nice one, Chad. First you grope the girl, and then pour salt in a wound, and all you can say is 'bummer?' He ran a big hand through his hair and sighed.

"At least let me see you guys back to the dorms. Or something. I feel really bad..."

"Drop it. I don't want to hear it. And quit treating me like a girl." He stands up and glares at Chad again. "I don't need your help okay?"

Yup. Totally fucked this one up royally. She may look a little like Orihime, but Ranma acted nothing like her. And that was not a bad thing.

"Okay, okay!" Chad held his hands up defensively. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Arigato. I guess I'll just...see you around, then?"

What more could he do but leave at this point? He'd tried everything he could think of.

"Right." Ranma picked up his puppy and ran off at top speed, jumping on things when he had the chance, eventually running along a fence, hopping on and off without skipping a beat.

Huh. Running away from him. Not even an attempt to be casual and drift off and then start running once she was out of sight. Chad smirked a little to himself; at least Ranma hadn't hit him again. He would have considered her completely in the right if she had.

Shoving his hands in his pockets, Chad strolled back along the way he came, chosing a different route back to the dorms. He had a feeling that things were going to get very interesting, as far as that redhead was concerned.

There may or maynot have been the sound of a telephoto lens attatched to a camera saving pixels to a memory card. Or of someone internally calculating profits.

((ooc: Oh... no... XD and omg I had no clue John was a senior! What will Ranma do without his best buddy! They so have to take that roadtrip before he graduates! ack...))

((heeeee... I've already plans for JOhn to buy a 1980's Chevy with a carburated 350 [no fuel injection computers] as his off-Fandom ride. =D

Pick a weekend that's not Sept 16 and we'll go for it. Late Sept/Oct? JUst designate a weekend that J and R are off-campus and we can slowplay it. Or pre-play it. OR post-play it. or...nevermind)

((hum hum. Preplaying sounds the best because we're both on at sporadic times and things like that. As for the weekend you should decide. I'm usually on Fandom all the time come hell or high water. So anytime you want to is fine by me and we can start writing it at some point... yeah))

((There's gotta be a scene encountering Ryoga. Oh, and watch Big Trouble in Little China before we start, cuz... that'd just be funny as HELL if the story parallelledleedded. :D)

((I'm totally up for Ryoga. Hehe. I'll read up on it. I dunno if I'll be able to actually watch it XD))
